Who is she? Has her name been revealed yet?

Please tell me she’s not just meant to be a generic representation of the wizard kings in general. Her portrayal is too iconic to not be the “big bad.”

I know we can use her unique headdress for our player-created characters, but I hope that doesn’t preclude her from being an antagonist in the story realms.

We’ve seen Karissa, Artica , and Arachna, but I suppose it could be a freaky version of Mab, Nimue, or Serena…

I imagine she will be the main antagonist of ether the first realm, or the full story realm saga. Likely skipping one for a 'come back.'

I remember them saying that the first realm you have to be a champion, and the Story Trailer features her as the antagonist of a champion.

Right, Julia wasn’t exiled with the wizards. This is clearly some power-mad wizard queen.
It's a disguised Merlin, it has been done before. ;)

In the release trailer she is clearly the leader of the wizards in the astral sea. So it's very unlikely for her to be Julia since julia was in the material world in aow3 and i remember she was no longer using wizard powers because the connection to the wizards source of power was closed.

Also what happened with the shadow demons ? If they reopen the portals doesn't that open the way for the shadow demons too ?

There is a unit called "Living Shadow". Looks like the smoking half of a Balrog. Might be one of the Summons for Shadow Affinity.

Don't worry, you'll meet her in few days :)
Sounds good. It’s really interesting to me that she’s been all over the marketing campaign for this game, yet we have no idea who she actually is.
